Apparently, the makers of apple cider
vinegar are increasing their pressure to push the topic of vinegar
into the news and increase their sales. Prior to this, it seemed to
happen only once a year, but it is only 7 months since the last
barrage of vinegar articles and blogs. My guess is they did not
sell enough from last fall's crop and that is the reason for the
early push.
At least 54 percent of physicians who
answered the survey say they will not promote vinegar to diabetes
patients. Only 9 percent are claiming to promote vinegar and the
rest are considering mentioning it. As more complete the survey, the
numbers may change.
When you read the article here, please
click on the references to see that Carol Johnston, PhD from Arizona
State University, Department of Nutrition is the primary source of
information. After you have read this article, you may want to read
my tongue-in-cheek blog about this in June of last year.
What surprises me is the number of
studies listed that were done with healthy subjects that did not have
diabetes and they expect us to believe that people with type 2
diabetes will have long-term benefits from vinegar.
The more I see published about vinegar,
the less I enjoy reading the drivel they want us to believe. Now
getting Medscape to publish an article about it shows the desperation
these people have to promote vinegar. The Obama economy is hurting
everyone.
Sorry folks, it just the way I see this
issue.
